The U.S. Postal Service get out of the mail delivery business. Turn the business over to private industry. The only thing companies know how to do these days is raise the rates.

I know the city is always looking for ways to save money, so here is an idea: Keep Jim Ellison in office because he has been elected mayor. Everyone else but commissioners Jim Rasor and Dave Poulton should resign since they apparently just go along with whatever Jim Rasor has to say. Basically, there is no need for us to pay them extra money to be on the commission. It would shorten up the meetings considerably.

If daylight-saving time is detrimental to our health, why do we have it? Why canít we just not have any time change? It was voted down once, but it was changed anyway. I am against it.

I am so pleased with the choice of the new pope. Now maybe some of my Catholic brethren will get back in line and realize that you cannot have the Catholic faith going down a liberal path. There is no room for liberal Catholics. You are either a true Catholic or you are not a Catholic.

I see that singer Lady Gaga is recovering from hip surgery and has a gold plated wheelchair. Isnít that pathetic? Why doesnít she donate her money to charity? That is really showing off.

Detroit is seeking ways to take care of illegal immigrants. Thatís another reason the city is sinking. Detroiters canít take care of themselves, but they want illegals in the city. Donít they know that illegal means they broke the law? I donít want my tax dollars supporting illegals.

I hope everyone is aware of what the so-called assault weapons ban bill that Sen. Diane Finestein has proposed really has in it. It isnít just assault weapons, folks. It would actually ban anyone from owning a gun who has ever had a mental or psychiatric evaluation. The government is going to have access to all the medical records from across the country, and those people who have seen a psychiatrist or psychologist will be banned from owning guns because they are going to be mentally unstable in the governmentís view. There is something between 150,000 and 200,000 veterans who are going to be prohibited from owning guns because they have admitted to post-traumatic stress. Anyone who was in a shooting war and came back and said they were affected by it will be forbidden to own guns. That is part of the law that is being proposed.
